Don't know why this song didn't do better in the US by either group. It was an international hit by Los Pop Tops, a group from Madrid, Spain, when I was in Turkey in 1971. The tune was written by Frenchman Herbert Giraud.

The forgotten son did not go back home to find the house empty, Mamy gone and erotic dreams during the journey!

@x10048362 the reason you dont hear it on oldies radio is because it was never in the top 40s..

Ive been trying to find this song, couldnt remember the title, finally found it. Why wont the damn oldies stations play songs like this??? they just stick with the same old 10 songs. There was and is so much more GOOD varity out there, this was one of them.

Well, this is the first and only version I have ever heard. I heard it when I was 13 and fell in love with Ian Lloyd and Stories. I'm 51 now.
